I don't believe anything on ABC until Damon and Carlton say it  If the Enhanced versions of the episodes "SHOW ON ABC" are not canon can we trust the website? OMG seriously just TELL US! I am sure it will be a question at comic con just to clarify  I thought it is was going to be OBVIOUS as to what the statue was in the finale...at least they seemed to think it would be. Guess again boys. We're done...For the love of Jacob just tell us. HA HA HA HA |

In an issue of Wired, J.J. Abrams made a puzzle. When you solve it the answer is apparently "the four toed statue is tawaret."
That's good enough for me. Although I'd like to personally see that issue of Wired....

Until I see it on the show, I don't believe it, It could all be a red herring, I mean something as huge as the 4-toed-statue be revealed like that?
Eh, I smell something fishy, and it's not Jacob's dinner.

From Lostpedia:
Wired magazine's May 2009 issue, guest-edited by J.J. Abrams, included a Lost-related puzzle on pages 104-105 consisting of two pages of one- and two-digit numbers. When the first page was decrypted using a Vigenère cipher, it read:
“
U S E L E T
T E R S B A
C K W A R D S F
R O M E N D
”
or, "use letters backward from end".
Counting letters backwards from the end of a section of an article on time travel written by Thorne Plates for the August 2003 issue of Wired, in which the Casimir effect was referenced, yielded the solution to the second page:
“
T H E F O U
R T O E D S
T A T U E I S
T A W E R E T
”
or, "The four-toed statue is Taweret".

Okay, look, I'm not saying that it's NOT tawaret but what i'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around is the pictures you showed, and the picture in the finale. PRO'S: - Crocodile-ish head - Lostpedia says it is - Lost recap in ABC says so - The puzzle in the magazine - The fertility aspect fits in well with the theme of mothers dieing, perhaps the destroying of the statue made the mothers infertile CON'S (http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/lostpedia/images/5/57/5x16-fourtoedstatue.png) - The statue is not fat - The pictures above doesn't show it holding an ankh by its side - The hood of the statue doesn't go all the way down to it's waste - The (pardon my french) breasts of the statue aren't shown - J.J. Abrams could be fooling us. Why announce something so huge in a puzzle? Don't you think they should have a bigger reaveal? - Mowhawk head? My opinion, I'm not jumping into the Taweret statue thing too early, and don't smite me or anything, but I just think that this a big reveal and I don't see why they would ruin it so easily. Call me old fashioned, but until they say it on the show, I'm going to continue sitting on the fence. Respect one man's opinion |

I think the heads in the sculptures in my pictures are pretty conclusive evidence that the Lost statue is NOT Taweret. The picture from the show looks much more like a crocodile mouth, Taweret has a hippo or lion head, which is much less narrow.
